The hot chicken sandwich district is diversifying.  May now just be known as the chicken district.  

I keep referring to it as the Chicken Strip.

I wish the title read, “TxDOT Proposes Razing I-10 near I-45

Why? What good would that be?

Thanks for the photos. I took the Sunset Limited from NOLA to LA in 2016 and spent the trip past El Paso with food poisoning. Not a good experience. I may be taking it again next month from LA to Houston, hopefully it'll be a better trip.

Maybe the Dynamo/Dash can buy the block closest to PNC Stadium like the Astros have done around MMP.

You are grossly embellishing "there were sidewalks there". The sidewalks there are not continuous and frequently end in a ditch or someone's yard. Sometimes they are blocked by cars in a driveway but the bigger problem is that the sidewalk is not complete or continuous and this is the case with many streets in the heights. 

I think y'all are saying the same thing. 

I've seen three different people on twitter argue not only against this project, but to demolish all the highways in downtown. I don't understand their logic. The net benefit of this project is greater than keeping it the same or tearing down highways. That seems absurd to me.

Are they not able to go home from another direction?  How is this different than living on a one-way street, or on a cul-de-sac?  You just get used to driving a different way.

I would have to go 2 more exits on 610 to go back around just to turn right instead of left. I could also take 610 in the other direction and loop all the way around Houston, going farther doesn't make sense. The difference between one way streets and this set up is you can go one block over to make a left turn, whereas here you would have to go several blocks to the one intersection its allowed. Then you will have everyone else doing the same, creating traffic that doesn't exist now.

Limiting left turns to a few streets doesn't make sense to me. The blocks are very short along the street and a lot of people live between 11th and 10th or 12th streets who wouldn't be able to turn left to go home from a certain direction. 

The road diet will go along well with the Shepherd/Durham road diet. 

Bayou Heights sounds like an oxymoron to me. 

Where is this extension?

Looks like they are going with Memorial Park, Shepherd/Durham, and Studemont. 

It was a long time coming, but they beat the summer 2022 finish date so that's exciting at least.

What is the procedure for parking on this street? Some blocks have a no parking on this block sign posted, so blocks have a no parking between 7-9am and 4-6pm except Sundays sign, and other blocks have no signs at all. Is it legal to park on the blocks with no signs? 

la la land is opening this weekend, soft opening this week. The hours are listed as 6:30am to 7pm.

The Secret Group posted this on their Instagram. I'm not sure why it's ending but kinda suspicious to announce it for the end of this month.

As long as its not just some run-of-the-mill suburban tract plan then sounds good to me. Was already disappointed with the planning of the Kroger area and then the Target area....third time a charm?

Nope.

Is this enough chicken places along this road that we we call Shepherd/Durham the Chicken Strip?

So the project still stops at Shepherd instead of Durham?

I am a single occupancy vehicle wanting to make a right turn, how soon can I cut through two lanes of traffic to make a right turn before it is considered driving in those lanes? Or how can this be done safely? It seems dangerous to me, but it's Houston so par for the course I guess.

Welp looks like this might be delayed a bit. I haven’t noticed anything 

You haven't noticed Shepherd down to two lanes?

and there's plenty of weaving once you're on the ramp to 59/288, again people waiting for the last second to decide where they want to go.

I don't know if it's the local daily drivers doing this or the people like me who moved here <5 years ago and seldomly venture on certain major highways. A few dozen people can slow traffic down for hours.
